In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved:

video: fbdev: i740fb: Check the argument of i740_calc_vclk()

Since the user can control the arguments of the ioctl() from the user
space, under special arguments that may result in a divide-by-zero bug.

If the user provides an improper 'pixclock' value that makes the argumet
of i740_calc_vclk() less than 'I740_RFREQ_FIX', it will cause a
divide-by-zero bug in:
drivers/video/fbdev/i740fb.c:353 p_best = min(15, ilog2(I740_MAX_VCO_FREQ / (freq / I740_RFREQ_FIX)));

The following log can reveal it:

Fix this by checking the argument of i740_calc_vclk() first.
